There is something viscerally pleasing about being sore and bruised. It seems kind of weird, but I know that I fought hard when my muscles are sore. I know that people were not treating me with kid gloves when I have bruises.
This weekend is Crown, but its way up in north in Canada, so I didn't go. Lots of locals didn't make the trip. Only the guys that planned to enter, and a few others went. Practice was not very crowded, especially given the beautiful weather. It was still good. There were three knights, and four or five unbelted fighters. That was cool, because I got some good instruction and some hard fights. All in all, I had a great time. I am looking forward to Grand Thing in a week. That will be a fun event.
